I am a Spanish to English translator specializing in corporate legal texts. I was employed for four years as an in-house translator on the corporate team of a midsize law firm in Mexico City and have been providing independent translation services for over five years. I work with translation agencies and direct clients on legal and commercial documents, in addition to teaching graduate-level specialized sessions in translation at a university located in Mexico City.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, a Master of Hispanic Studies, and a Professional Certificate in Spanish to English Translation. Feel free to contact me if I can be of service.
